    Fuel Density Compensator

    Nope the sticker is incorrect and no way of doing it internal. Seen that on a couple of trucks. Sorry got to get your hands dirty. The thing I have found is not all trucks are set the same. So some we have to turn down the fuel at the main and then adjust the droop after FDC bypass or you might...

    Fuel Density Compensator

    Do believe the best thing for our trucks is a pyro and a good tweeking after bypassing the FDC. Does not matter to me that I have to push the fuel pedal down a little farther if I run a weird fuel. I rather have better performance than a fuel leak into the crankcase. To answer your question...

    I do believe if you read many threads most all that know say we bypass it. It is not needed and can do more harm than good. Don't know how much the new FDC cost you but to bypass would have been around two bucks better spent.

    Earine let us know 4 sure how it goes on the mileage. Do you have a boost gage installed or just a tune up one that you will be using. If you are willing to really do some tweaking it would be interesting to see how low on the boost at both rpm ranges you could go and still get what you want out...

    The Alternative Fuels section in the General threads is a great source for who, what and how well the alts. are doing. Just remember by having or reconnecting the FDC you must watch for oil dilution.

    Hard to see. Yes the 465 troubleshooting manual second page 4th line I think. It also shows the most consistent way of putting a load on the motor using the brakes.

    Fuel Density Compensator

    If you look at the second pic 7 posted it is behind the hex head plug right above the round governor cover that has the two bolts on the end of the unit. Inside there you use a allen wrench. The droop is adjusted by finding out how boost you are makeing at 1600rpm with a load on the motor then...

    I corrected my post to read nuts. Sorry for the confusion 7.

    Yes take off the plate and you will see the other nuts on the inside. So there will be one on the outside and one on the inside. Turning the inside nut clockwise to let the shaft come out farther will increase boost. What RPM do you seem to be running at in those gears? Do you have a boost gage...
